Hello listers. It has been awhile sine I sent in a query, so with all the new computers
out there, I thought it was time to send again. My German HARRIS family's 1st
proveable ancestor was John Henry HARRIS, DOB 2.1804 Mifflin Co., PA, and DOD Tuss.
County, OH. My GGGradfather George H HARRIS was born there on 1/1830 and after serving in
the Civil War died in Daviess Co on 2/18/1869. And is buried in Raglesville Cem. My
GGrandfather David H. HARRIS was born in TUSC. County, OHIO on 3/1851 and after spending
most of his life in Odon in Daviess, moved to Indianapolis where he died 7/1946. While in
Odon, David HARRIS owned the Harris House Hotel and several blocks of the city. His
brother, Samuel Frederic HARRIS was a physcian ther until he passed during the TB
epidemic. All the brothers and sisters continued to marry German/Swiss people including
family members of the MAY(BACH), CORRELL, SOMMERS, RUFENACHT, and WINKLEPLECK. I'm
sure I have many cousins in the area of GREENE, M!
ARTIN, OWEN, VIGO and Morgan county as my family spread all over "German
Corner" of SW Indiana during the late 1800s and early 1900s. I have many old German
documents and would be happy to share as applicable while i continue to look for my
"cousins". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Fred Harris
